“Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a single payer healthcare plan – a curse on the U.S. & its people…,” Trump said in a series of tweets. “…I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don’t worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people.”

…I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don't worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people.

This started a Twitter war between Trump and Sanders, with the Vermont senator quickly firing back.

“No Mr. President, providing health care to every man, woman and child as a right is not a curse, it’s exactly what we should be doing,” Sanders wrote. “What is a curse is your support for throwing 23 million off health insurance. That’s the curse and we won’t allow you to get away with it.”

Despite Trump condemning single-payer healthcare, Americans appear to feel differently about it. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 53 percent of Americans support a national healthcare plan, and a Pew Research Center poll found 60 percent of Americans thought the government had a responsibility to provide healthcare coverage for all.
